Problem: You are working on a site under development and have encountered an issue where you no longer have access to the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) via the WordPress all pages section. Additionally, you need guidance on correcting a translation mistake on a page. Solution: First, ensure that the Advanced Translation Editor is enabled by navigating to WPML -> Settings -> Translation Editor. Then, open a page in the default language editor and verify that "WPML editors" is enabled in the language metabox, typically found on the right side of the screen. If you still cannot access the Advanced Translation Editor after these steps, please go to WPML -> Support -> Advanced Translation Editor -> Error Logs and send us a screenshot of any relevant logs.
If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Additionally, please feel free to open a new support ticket for further assistance at WPML support forum.
Problem: You are seeing obsolete URLs in the WPML translation editor, which include URLs that should not be up for translation and some that contain two slugs or non-existent URLs. Solution: The issue arises because these URLs are still associated with specific page IDs in your database, even if they are no longer active or relevant. This can happen if data from previously used plugins (like Yoast) remains in your database even after the plugin is removed. To resolve this, we recommend checking your database for any residual data linked to these page IDs and removing them if they are no longer needed. This cleanup will help ensure that only relevant and current URLs appear in the WPML editor.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, please check the related known issues and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Problem: When navigating into the French folder in the WordPress Dashboard under Pages->All Pages, both WordPress and Yoast SEO switch to French, even though the default language is set to English. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you navigate to your WordPress Dashboard > Users > Profile. Here, you will find an option labeled Set admin language as editing language. Uncheck this option to prevent WordPress and Yoast SEO from switching to French when accessing the French folder.

Problem: The client is unable to save new settings permanently in WPML. After refreshing the browser page, old settings reappear instead of the newly saved settings. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend clearing the caches on your site and server first. If the problem persists, try disabling all plugins except for WPML, String Translation, and Elementor to check for a plugin conflict. Reactivate the plugins one by one, saving the WPML settings after each to identify the problematic plugin.
For issues related to media settings not saving, understand that options like Duplicate existing media for translated content and Duplicate the featured images for translated content are not permanent settings but troubleshooting tools. Changes made under "How to handle media for new content:" in the Media Translation settings will be saved permanently.
To translate image meta information, enable "Translate media library texts with posts" under WPML > Settings → Media Translation. Ensure the "Duplicate" option in Media Translation settings is enabled for the image data to be available in the Advanced Translation Editor.
If these steps do not resolve your issue, or if the solution seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
Problem: You are unsure about the functionality of the Duplicate options in WPML's Media Translation. Solution: The 'Duplicate' option in WPML means that WPML will create a separate database entry for each image in each language. This results in one entry inside the media library for the media in each language, while using the same source file across all languages. For more detailed information on how to manage media translations, we recommend checking the WPML Media Translation documentation.

Problem: You are experiencing an issue where the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) displays 9 images for translation, but only 5 images are visible on the frontend page. Solution: This discrepancy may occur if media was previously part of the content and then removed. To address this, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to your media library, switch to list view, and detach the media files from the content. This action will not remove the images from the content. 2. Go to WPML > Settings > Media Translation and uncheck the option "Translate media library texts with posts". This should resolve the issue temporarily. 3. For translating meta information, you can use WPML > Media Translation or directly inside the media library by changing the admin language in the top admin bar.

Problem: You are experiencing issues where you are asked to translate from French to French instead of from English to French. Additionally, you notice duplicate translations of image text in the translation editor. Solution: 1. If you are not using the Media Translation plugin, we recommend removing it from your plugins list. This action might require cleaning the media translations from the database. 2. Alternatively, disable the Media Text translation in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) and use Media Translation only for necessary cases. 3. To remove duplicate translations, follow these steps: - Search for the English title of the image in the Media Library. - Identify duplicates of the same image. - Keep the Media Library tab open, and open the concerned page with Elementor to check the date and file name of the image currently in use. - Return to the Media Library and delete all files that do not match the details on Elementor. - Make a small edit to the page, save, and update the translation.

Problem: The client is experiencing incorrect image text translations within the WPML editor. Solution: We identified a possible cause related to media files with similar filenames. For more details, see the errata page: Media Translation Issue with Images Having Similar Filenames. We applied a workaround by navigating to WPML > Settings > Media Translation > How to handle media library texts and disabling the option 'Translate media library texts with posts'. We then initiated a re-sync of the media library by clicking the 'Start' button. We recommend testing this solution on your staging site to confirm if the issue is resolved.

Problem: Client was trying to finish translating an English page into French but encounter unexpected French text in the on the English side, in Advanced Translation Editor. Despite clearing caches and updating translations, the issue persisted.
Solution: We discovered that the problem was due to a conflicting database entry where an image had incorrect alt-text assigned in the default language. Here's how we resolved it: 1. Identified the problematic image in the database and removed the incorrect meta entry. 2. Accessed WPML -> Media Translation and correctly translated the image's "Alt text" ensuring both languages had the appropriate text. 3. Made a minor edit to the page content, saved, and updated the translation to reflect these changes in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE).

Problem: The client is unable to translate multiple slugs on their website despite having the correct settings enabled. They are experiencing an issue where only one slug is available for translation instead of five, as seen on the original English page. Solution: We confirmed that the slug translation is functioning correctly for the page the client mentioned. If the client wishes to change the translated slug, they can simply click on it to modify it. Additionally, if the client uses absolute URLs, WPML should automatically recognize and translate these URLs. However, for relative URLs, WPML might not detect them as internal URLs. In such cases, the client needs to manually search for these URLs or they will appear in the Advanced Translation Editor for translation. For more details on how to search for a URL, please visit: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/
